Job 11:13

PrayerRepentance

11 Surely He knows the deceit of men. If He sees iniquity, does He not take note?

12 But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!

As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,

14 if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,

15 then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
